September 7 – Needless Worries. Matthew 6:31-32 “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”

Brigham’s ‘advice’ didn’t last forever. In the mid 1980’s the Church had a change of heart, and advised members to keep a food storage for three months instead of three years. I grew up on the three year plan, and vividly recall helping my mother rotate large buckets of rice, and beans on a regular basis.
Ask the Mormon for their opinion on the Church’s change of heart.
Also ask if it bothers them that Nephi plagiarized Jesus.

Journal of Discourses 3:196 “We never ought to be without three or five years provisions on hand. But when you see men run to hell to sell a bushel of wheat for sixty cents, instead of laying it up in their granaries for a day of scarcity, you are forced to conclude that they would trade with the very devil, to get his coat and shoes in exchange for their wheat.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, January 27, 1856

My great aunt left me $500. I was married and still lds. My late-mother, in charge of everything like that, told me the only way I could get the money was to buy Sam Andy with it! My lds marriage ended ten years after that date….my ex has the stale Sam Andy now. Thanks for nothing, Mom. I guess I should thank BY, too.
